My Favourite Memory

One of the families I work with in Ireland has a little girl who is seven and I remember one day when we decided to make a day trip. It was her first time on a train and she was so excited she talked to every single person we met. She really came alive on that trip and I learned how important it is for children to be out and about.

My Education

I have spent time on building up a skillset around minding children since arriving in Ireland and have taken online courses on sleep training and childhood nutrition.

My Family

I come from a very close family in Mexico City. I grew up with grandparents and extended family close by. I have one sister who is seven years younger than me and is still back in Mexico but I speak with her all the time.

My Motivation

My primary motivation is to work with families where I can help them with their childcare and household tasks and I can improve my English and learn about integrating into the Irish culture.

My Interests

In my spare time I love to relax by completing large jigsaw puzzles.

    Karen has been our babysitter for over a year, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She is wonderful with our son—matching his energy, keeping him engaged during playtime, and always ensuring a fun and safe environment. Highly responsive, detail-oriented, and punctual, Karen is someone we have come to rely on with complete confidence. I also appreciate her eagerness to learn from us as parents to align with our preferences in caring for our child. I would highly recommend Karen to any family—she has been a fantastic presence in our son's life.
